I note that carrying ads would mean we would be profiting from cases
of copyright infringement, libel, defamation etc. on our site, which
might be detrimental to our ability to easily wriggle out of lawsuits.

We actively identify and remove cases of copyright infringement when we find them, or when we are notified.
That should be enough.

The front-page copyright cases are those where, even after notification
the infringer *did not* or *refused* to comply with a 
valid copyright-infringement c&d
